I think Hope has it right. If you like a single shot, just load one bullet. Me, I prefer options.
That's what I like to see, clear and rational people like those two. We kicked this can before and think it was decided that a 10/22 was best for survival. That tiny piece of lead beats the dickens out of yelling BANG !. Saw a little spray and pray and I will admit it clears a path. You take their advice you may live long enough to thank them. Try a little common sense, rifle without ammo equals club, now you done went back several thousand years.Quote:

Kicked....this...can....before. Rifle....without....ammo....equals....club. I'm sure glad I'm writing these down. Gems I tell. Absolute gems.
I can dig that, Nice quote.
The best weapon is the one you have when you need it.
Were those planed deer hunts with .22 (40gr copper and the 36gr. lead HP)? If so, and you weren't in a survival situation, that's sad.Quote:

I agree with FVR about the .22. The only thing a person can do with a more powerful weapon then I with a .22 is make longer shots.
And for all the Nananana BoooBoooo's coming over the hill with AR's. Hit the Nananan in the head with the first shot. When all the BooooBooo's stop to look at their dead Nananana, shoot another one in the head. Most folks have no idea what to do at this point and either drop to the ground (where you can continue shooting more of them in the head) or they run. In which case you get up and go loot the bodies.
I have seen hundreds of Nananan Booooboooo's running around with M-16. With the first shot or GBS they all stop running and lay down. Easy pickings.:D
All right now. I resemble that.Quote:

My mom and siblings could sure go through some venison. You'd a swore they had tape worms..............hmmmmm, maybe they did. I remember my youngest sister used to talk to someone named molly when she was in the bathroom. I opened the door once. Other then her on the pot there was no one else in there. :confused:

I do not at this time own a pump-action .22 however I am shopping for a pump .22 magnum take down.
I've said this before but I'll repeat it here. In a true survival situation, I think a larger caliber weapon limits you on the game you go after. Unless you live in the bush, like Hopeak, where do you store an entire elk? Moose? And you certainly won't take a squirrel or rabbit or bird with a 5.56 round. At least you won't have much meat left if you do.
My .22 can supply all the meat I need (assuming I can hit it), it's light, as Hopeak said, I can carry tons of ammo, can be used for self defense if need be, and is pretty inexpensive all around. What more could I ask for in a survival weapon?
Note to self: Never hit the ground when Klkak is shooting at me. He prefers a bit of a challenge.
I do believe it was in reference to the "multiple neck shots" comment.Quote:

My thinking is respect for the animal. You are right, when you are putting food on the table dead is dead. I personally am of the belief that if you are going to take an animal it should be as quickly as possible. If that means getting closer to get the proper shot, then get closer. If that means using a round more suited to the abilities of the shooter, then use the proper round. I don't mean to sound preachy, those are just my thoughts since you asked.Quote:
